Help! extremely dry hair extensions
I have extensions in my hair (natural hair), and they are dry as bone! They look very tangly, frizzy, and they are hard to style. How to remedy this? I use a special shampoo/conditioner for extremely dry hair, and often soak the ends in olive oil, leaving my hair in a loose braid after. Are there other ways to improve them a little? Thanks!

I moved to Finland two days ago (ahhhhh, Europe!) so I'll try and find a solution here (after ceremoniously taking out the extensions). They are falling out and are looking worse, so I'll either go with my own hair or look for new ones. Jul 03 14 02:16 am Link I guess everything is relative! 400 degrees to me isn't hot. I use 450 most of the time. I worked for a keratin company and I'm fast with the iron! You need to work with what is comfortable to you to achieve the final goal your happy with.
